Hilarious Poser!

so earlier today i jump on the scooter (motorcycle) to head up to the speed shop in indy on gasoline alley to buy some flare fittings for my RR since i jacked up the threads on one....while i was in there an older guy pulls up in a lifted white dually F-450....he's in the shop talking big about racing stuff so when he finally shut up i started asking him questions about his rig....i ask him 7.3? yep he replies.....me: have you done anything to it? him: yep.... me: what have you done to it? him: it dyno'd 580 horsepower, i run a bully dog tuner a turbo and a shift kit in it..... me: what turbo you runnin'? him: i dont know it all came in a kit...... me: whose sticks you runnin'? him: (with a confused look on his face) sticks? Me: yea...whose injectors? him: oh they're stock injectors for now i have another kit im gonna put in this fall that makes 1000 horsepower and 1500 foot lbs of torque......

after he said stock injectors i instantly knew he was full of crap and walked out of the shop.....those must be some potent az$ stock injectors.....i hope i come across him in town sometime when im in my truck......he sounds like he belongs in a dodge.....

Whatchoo talkin' 'bout, Willis? Watch that talk about "older guys".

There's a few of us who resemble that.

Mine's pretty-much stock, but Robin has been known to clean some clocks.....

And yea, I dislike posers.

Of any age.

Ha Pop, you and me have something in common besides our trucks. I'm an "older guy" too and I can't stand bull shirters (spell check !) either. Some people will climb a tree to tell a lie. I hope Bill meets him on the street one day with a fat wallet !

Wasn't there a 1,000 HP Powerstroke somewhere that blew up and broke into 3 pieces? Seems if I recall it was Brian's son from BTS.

Sounds like he does belong in a Dodge. You say "Bully Dog" in a crowd, and the Dodge guys pee down their leg with excitment.
I know a Chevy guy who will always have 1 more HP, 1 more Lb ft of torque, and get 1 more mpg out of his truck than whatever I'm driving...It's sad, but amusing.

It sounds like a guy I worked with he asked if I had a 7.3, I said yep. He said good engine, I said yeah. He asked what kinda power I was making, I said around 300 at the wheels, he said huh my 6L is making 500HP and has 500,000miles on it and he has no complaints..... I was in my truck and he was at my window talking to me. I asked what kind of head studs he put in it, he said no head studs......
I put the truck in gear and drove away with him standing there looking dumb founded

There are some out there, Brian Jelich is one that comes to mind, it takes a lot to get there, and no stock sticks for these trucks.
